I am currently a postdoctoral researcher working with Jean-Pierre Hulin and Frederic Moisy at FAST Laboratory.  My research focuses on turbulence and mass transport in lock-exchange flows in an inclined tube.

Previously, I was a graduate student working with Heidi Nepf in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at MIT.  My graduate research focused on flow and transport relevant to aquatic plant canopies.  For my master’s thesis, I studied the propagation of lock-exchange flows through an array of randomly-distributed emergent cylinders, a model for emergent aquatic plant canopies.  In my doctoral work, I studied solute transport, specifically lateral dispersion, in random cylinder arrays.
